This is my problem with WWE. Every time a new character or characters are pushed it always ends with them getting buried or they're used to put someone who is already over even more over. They're so intent on pushing established main event guys that everyone who faces them is just there to continue their run. Why go through all that effort if it doesn't even matter in the end?

Wade Barrett, Brodus Clay, the Usos, Alex Riley, Sin Cara, Tensai, Zack Ryder, Jack Swagger, etc... the WWE made us believe at one point they were all in for a big push and it ended with them getting buried or fading into mid card obscurity. About the only recent pushes that have been followed up on in the past year have been Ryback and Sandow, and possibly Cesaro... but I have a feeling he's being set up as well. They've teased Dolph Ziggler as a main eventer for the longest time, just as they have with Kofi, but never follow through, and if it wasn't for the overwhelming support for Daniel Bryan after Wrestlemania his career would probably be irrelevant right now. Do you think The Shield is set up to be major players in WWE's future or are they being set up to fail?

Edit: Just as I make this post I see The Shield discussion thread lol oh well

i think its still to early to say, if they didnt have this match at tlc then i would say definitely but with this match it just depends on the outcome off it

It's amazing what can happen when heels are booked properly (The Shield, Cesaro, Rhodes Scholars).

I think at the very least, Ambrose or Reigns becomes a significant part of the company's future.

I expect Ambrose to develop into one of the top heels, while Reigns could have some nice runs if he has a good mouthpiece.

I like Rollins and think he'll do well, I just feel least confident about him like most.

[Eddie Ray]

yes. they have a great presence about them and the WWE don't want to ruin it. I do believe they have big things planned for them...maybe taking out The Rock? talk about monster heat.

Faith in the WWE to do something right?

[Asenath]

I have hope. But that's a totally different creature.

This was exactly my reaction.

If WWE can bury over veterans like Christian and Goldust, destroy hot storylines like the Nexus or CM Punk VS Triple H, turn talented wrestlers like Cena or Sheamus into boring cookie cutter faces and misuse half of the roster, I cannot see how the WWE can avoid ruinning The Shield.

[ADC]

I don't care, they can push them as little as they like as far as i'm concerned.

[Ageei]

No.

I all ready think they'll fade after TLC. I'm nearly 99% certain they will lose.
